De nitions
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation of a transfer curve from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC
transfer function, with o set and gain errors adjusted out.
Di erential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL is the deviation of an actual code width from the
ideal value of 1 LSB between any two adjacent codes in
the ADC transfer curve. DNL is a critical speci cation in
closed-loop applications. A DNL error of less than ±1 LSB
guarantees no missing codes and a monotonic transfer
function.
O set Error
O set error is the deviation of the actual input voltage
corresponding to the mid-scale code (32,768 for a 16-bit
system with an unsigned decimation lter) from 0 V. O set
error can be corrected by software or hardware.
Gain Error
Gain error is the the di erence between the ideal gain
slope and the actual gain slope, with o set error adjusted
out. Gain error includes reference error. Gain error can be
corrected by software or hardware.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The SNR is the measured ratio of AC signal power to noise
power below half of the sampling frequency. The noise
power excludes harmonic signals and DC.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SNDR)
The SNDR is the measured ratio of AC signal power to
noise plus distortion power at the output of the ADC. The
signal power is the rms amplitude of the fundamental
input signal. Noise plus distortion power is the rms sum
of all non-fundamental signals up to half the sampling
frequency (excluding DC).
E ective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The ENOB determines the e ective resolution of an ADC,
expressed in bits, de ned by ENOB = (SNDR − 1.76)/6.02
Isolation Transient Immunity (CMR)
The isolation transient immunity (also known as Common-
Mode Rejection or CMR) speci es the minimum rate-of-
rise/fall of a common-mode signal applied across the
isolation boundary beyond which the modulator clock or
data is corrupted.
